Library Trustee Election 2017

loading...

The Cornwall Public Library is currently making petitions available for people interested in running for the position of Library Trustee. Two Trustee positions will be on the ballot at the annual budget vote on April 18, 2017. This is a three-year term. Members of the Board of Trustees attend monthly meetings, occasional committee meetings, and work sessions as needed.

The library seeks innovative, community-minded people interested in helping guide the library into the future. Trustees determine the fiscal budget, set policy and help discern the library response to community needs. A more complete description of trustee responsibilities can be found here: trustee-responsibilities_nys-handbook-for-library-trustees.

• Be at least 18 years of age
